Feline Friday with Ryū

 

Ryū-Chan: #1 realised that she had some really nice pics of me, mostly taken by Mr. G, which she had not shared yet, so she said I could have a post all to myself. I hope you like them!

In the hammock in the study:

Cleaning up!

Out in the cat run:

Oh, and #1 said we should wish Happy Halloween to those who like to celebrate it. We don't, and we live at the very end of a quiet lane, with a closed gate, so no tricks nor treats down here!

Happy Birthday, Ollie!

 

#1 here. After celebrating Benny's fifth birthday on the 20th, we are celebrating Ollie's seventh birthday today. It is hard to believe that it has been almost seven years that he has been with us. In that time, he has gone from this:

To this:

I'm going to see if I can find one nice shot, occasionally two,  from each year he has been with us at Poupounette Central.

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: And another month is almost hitting the dust. I am busy at the moment, cheering up #1. She has lost the little part-time job she had at the local pharmacy. It had been hard-going from the start as the owner/pharmacist is seriously bipolar (no meds taken...) but she had found ways around the craziness. Sadly, it all got too much and she had to walk away. She told me she would continue to get all my favourite foods, even if she has to eat pasta for the rest of her life. I think she really loves me... So. I've been looking cute for her.

I'm always there to help her blog:

I keep an eye on her as she watches TV.

And also help her finish off any desserts, especially if whipped cream is involved!

And that's my Tuesday for you, Dear Friends!

Manly Monday with Momo

 

Momo-Chan: A Fluffy Puffy hello to all of you! I am back with a new post and today, I shall start with a  question. Who is this?

You thought it had to be Ryū, right? But it isn't! That is his Mama, Pippin's Pride Picccolo (known to her friends as Pickle). Now you can see where he gets his shenanigans from, can't you? Here he is:

I am not sure what it was, but Benny found something really interesting to look at outside!

Mr. G snagged this one of me in the study:

And here is another one he took, of Ollie and Benny clearly impressed by the birthday cakes in their honour.

The Big V continues to enjoy his retirement at Ms. C's!

We wish you all a good week.

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: We hosted a little lunch yesterday to celebrate two birthdays, Benny's which was on the 20th, and Ollie's which will be on the 30th. Mr. G. Ms. N, and Mr. R came over, which was lovely. #1 took this nice shot of me and Mr. G:

And here I am, snuggling with #1 at her desk, as I so often do:

Mr. G managed to snag this great pic of his dad, Mr. R, snuggling with the two birthday boys, Benny and Ollie!

Then, #1 got a nice one off Ollie and his favouritest person, Mr. G!

Mr. G also got a good shot of #1 snuggling with Ryū, which is always hard to achieve!

Benny is always up for snuggles, and he enjoyed some with Mr. G too!

Momo has been snuggling with both Ollie and Benny.

And Benny has been gracing #1's lap:

Our clocks "fell back" last night, so we all got an extra hour's sleep and snuggles in bed!

We would like to finish today's post by wishing Mr. G a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!

Scenic Saturday

 

Ollie: After several days of grey skies, rain and high wind, we woke up yesterday to a brilliant blue sky and went for a nice long walk. When we got back, #1 looked at the weather forecast. It was supposed to be nice until early afternoon, then cloud over, then rain in the evening. So, she decided it would be the perfect day to go to our favourite autumn colour location, the big pond at a place called La Herse, about 20km from here. We did not regret our decision. It was absolutely glorious and we had a fabulous walk! #1 told me she used to come every year with Tommy too.

Oh, and before I forget, thank you for all the nice comments on the photo in our Thursday post. That is our lane. We live at the end of the lane and were on our way home. We feel lucky to live in such a beautiful place.
